Discovery 4 juddering at speed

Hi. I have a Disco 4 and I have an intermittent juddering problem with the car. Its happened 3 times - all times I have been on a relatively long journey (about 75 miles - at around that sort of mark) on a straight piece of road - travelling at about 70mph. It causes me to slow down and pull off the road - it feels like a puncture or similar. Check the wheels - get back in and drive off and its fine again! Has anyone else had this problem - its recently had a large service as its done nearly 90K miles and the diesel pipes were replaced as they had holes in and they wondered if the problem would stop as there could have been air getting into the system - sadly not!. After the last juddering episode took a mechanic out in the car and though the steering felt a bit wobbly - zero juddering! Anyone got any ideas?

Binding brake calipers or EPB shoes would be a good place to start, classic symptoms. Check carefully for one wheel hotter than the others. Thumbs Up

Do a search on seized brake calipers, pretty common.

I had similar, but all it was, was a build up of mud on the inside of the wheels, and if washed badly, it leaves an unbalanced wheel. Usually only happens when traveling over 50mph.

I have had it where the car Judders when being driven. It only judders intermittently and each judder last 3secs. Is this similar to your problem?

Also get front lower arms checked... Clonk going over bumps is the main symptom, but I also had the random juddering, which has gone away now along with the clonk Smile

You may have lost a wheel balancing weight, check the fronts for marks where one may have been stuck on.
 It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
